Moving forward, are you a Negative Nelly or a Positive Pete? Guess which one most people like to be around? Hint: most people like being around encouraging people. As for the negatives, misery loves company. So the Owner's Manual of life definitely has something to say about this. Here is your "Play of the Day", back to the Daily Hope well. Full episode details will be available at the end of the show. Here you go...
"Why You Need to Think About What You Think About?" Part 1, published on 10/14/20. Go to PastorRick.com/listen
Word! So good. Who makes you angry? Who drags you down? Reminds me of a childhood story that I've shared before. My sister (whom I dearly love), we used to fight a lot when we were young. I would tell my Dad (a psychologist), "she makes me so angry". His response, you choose to give her power to make you angry. You choose to allow her to own and motivate your emotions. He was right.
So what are you choosing with that powerful brain of yours? Are you choosing to let others control you in a negative way? What do you choose to tune into in a positive way?
God is the ultimate source of your hope. God gave a promise via Jesus. God then chose Paul and a literal 'coming to Jesus' moment on the road to Damascus that ends up yielding the awesome promise in Phil 4: 6-8. God leverages Joker to get real and share that verse as his reason to hope and rally.
At FriDudes, we are flawed, we pursue Truth and you chose to tune in. Thank you! If you haven't yet, please join us for deeper insights and words of encouragement at FriDudes.com. Hit us up at the 'Contact Us' page and join the positivity movement. This world needs more of you.
As you know, we are not unashamed to promote others. If you are looking for more positivity in your life, choose the Bible. If you are new, start in John. Choose podcasts such as Daily Hope, Unashamed, Francis Chan, Dr. Byran Lorrits, Pastor Ricky Jenkins at Southwestchurch.com. Choose less negative and listen to more positive.
Ending on a song note, if you are an avid listener, you know we have range. Been on a hip hop binge lately. We've also played Pink Floyd, Ozzy Osbourne (who still has an open invite), hasn't responded yet. C'mon Ozzy, join us. So where do we go next? Dolly Parton. What? Yes, Dolly and Zach Williams. Definitely a country vibe on this one and a message of hope and positivity.
No matter what you are going through. Mountains, valleys, fires, sickness, shadows, "There was Jesus". This is "There was Jesus", by Zach Williams and Dolly Parton. If you dig, please give them some love and add it to your 'I need Hope Play List', now go, choose Jesus, choose love, choose positive voices for the rest of your life...
